I have recently been put on ivabradine. And I've not had any alcohol in nearly 2 years but with it being new years eve I'm wondering if I'm able to have any alcohol with these meds ??

Hello :-)

I have just looked it up as I had no clue but this is what it says

Can I consume alcohol with Ivabradine? A: Both alcohol and Ivabradine reduce your heart rate and blood pressure and hence alcohol consumption is not recommended as it may cause any unwanted effects

So I would say no and if you have gone 2 years without a drink I know it is New Years Eve but I would have something different that does not have alcohol in it :-)

Happy New Year 🎉 :-) x

if you you do not want to feel conspicuous about not drinking there is a great selection on zero alcohol brews out there and believe me they taste as good as the original. I have been drinking them for a while now and even friends have picked up the habit. To be on the safe side just ask you GP or nurse is this ok in their opinion. I think you might find that you will be ok. Happy new year
